gradenko_2000 posted:When France and Italy and Spain weren't getting an accurate report of their death tolls it was because resources were stretched so thin that people couldn't check up on old folks homes to count the numbers of seniors dead in theirs beds of corona It's all various degrees of lying as far as I'm concerned. China is certainly better at it than most countries.

Phi230 posted:So I went out today during the "lockdown" here in FL and it's about as busy as it ever was. Nothing has changed I feel like it's actually been getting busier in the Chicago area over the past few days. Today was particularly bad since it got up to 70 and when I got near my house, all the parking areas for the forest preserve behind my condo were just utterly packed. I feel like there was more than I would see on a random Saturday during the middle of spring during a normal year.

My whole family lives in Xinjiang and I have to constantly remind myself that it's not meaningful to engage Americans in any sort of discussion on China because these are the same people who devoted like a sixth of their GDP for a decade to murder Iraqis for sport based on a fantastical story about Saddam Hussein allegedly obtaining uranium from Niger LMAO

snoo posted:is there a reason I couldn't boil or bake an N95 lol It is important to remember these types of filtration products are not just pieces of cloth, but specially designed and produced pieces of cloth designed to work at regular ambient air temperature, pressure, and humidity. They consist not only of specifically produced fibers, but also static charged fibers which help capture particles in the air. Any change to them outside of the range of parameters where they work will cause some factor of the fibers to change, reducing their efficiency. Methods that saturate the fibers, like boiling or soaking in alcohol, are particularly bad, because the fibers will shrink upon drying, and thus reduce the effectiveness. There is some evidence that you can heat the mask at a low enough temperature (158 F) that's just enough to kill viruses and bacteria but not so high it affects the fibers. Here is the paper. https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fstanfordmedicine.box.com%2Fv%2Fcovid19-PPE-1-1 Note that it says not to do this in a home oven. I do not know why, but I assume it has to do with possible problems if you have a convection oven or a home oven that doesn't make the temperature uniform in the entire volume of the oven.

Shipon posted:i don't doubt that the true total might be higher but that's more due to the same factor as other countries which didn't count all the deaths properly. there's still the issue is did someone actually die due to covid19, and not because of copd or some other thing while they're still testing positive. and did someone die of heart failure, but it was actually covid19 and nobody checked that isn't the case in all but a few, but just a morbid thought exercise that covid19 is hitting vulnerable populations like a ton of bricks at a dizzying pace -- there are a few nursing homes in my state where like 75% of the residents tested positive. there's no way to get an accurate county when it's just obliterating segments of the population who could die from just the seasonal flu if i had to bet china's # of deaths is as accurate as you're going to get, and all the weird "15k bodies burning in a small field" is just sinophobia or w/e thinking they're a bunch of mud farmers, and not an authoritarian regime that ordered a billion medical staff and supplies to a region they totally shut down, hence their #s being looking like an aberration compared to italy, france, spain, and now the good ol' us of a. yeah the roof leaked on the hospital they built in 2 days but look at the west flailing the gently caress around like a drunk on a tilt-a-whirl. the west's #s will be horrific because it responded too little, too late from a reliance on government subsidized capitalism and populist leaders who only know how to blame poo poo on non-majority populations. unless the virus could be stopped from austerity and tax cuts, the west was always powerless to prevent it from doing anything but burning itself out from lack of hosts

one of the little info boxes mentions not doing it in a home oven bc of contamination but I can understand that home ovens aren't very accurate it does say that boiling water vapor would work too, which might be a better bet. put it on a stainless steel rack over boiling water and let it go, I guess

I am probably going to make a fabric mask with a wire in the nose, as tight fitting as possible, and an insert for some kind of filter material but I'm not sure what to use I have interfacing/tracing cloth and wet ones lmao this is just to go to the store. I would take it off carefully when I get home and wash it in hot soapy water immediately, along with disinfecting groceries and stuff and then taking a shower like I already do

The furnace filter is fine enough to filter microbes and was $20, roughly. if you have a pattern for a cloth mask, that should do in a pinch
